3. Stir in 1 tbsp curry powder, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground ginger, and 1/4 tsp coriander seed and toast for about 1 minute.
4. Add in 3 1/3 cups diced tomatoes, 15 oz chickpeas, and 2 tbsp half and half. Season with salt to taste. Cook for another 15 minutes or so to allow flavors to develop. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
